Their principal ally in the region, Hizbullah, has been decapitated, and their own offensive capability is gravely limited. Hizbullah's is gravely limited." "The Israelis are certainly going to hit back, and I predict it will be larger than the very restrained, very modulated response that we saw in April after the first large Iranian attack on Israel....As we know from April, Israel has the ability to operate...with great force over Iran at a time and place of their choosing."
